2. Should schools give students more opportunities to take part in community projects?
解答例を見る（135語）
I think schools should give students more opportunities to take part in community projects. One reason is education. Students can learn lessons that are difficult to gain from textbooks alone, such as how local organizations work and how different people solve problems together. Another reason is responsibility. When students help with real projects, they can see that their actions affect others. This may encourage them to think more seriously about their role in society. For example, students who help organize a local festival learn to plan carefully and keep their promises to adults in the community. Projects such as local surveys, environmental activities, or support for public events can be valuable experiences. These experiences can also improve communication between schools and the people living nearby. Therefore, schools should include more community-based activities in students’ education.
3. Should companies make it easier for employees to continue learning while they work?
解答例を見る（130語）
I believe companies should make it easier for employees to continue learning while they work. The first reason is productivity. Workers who update their knowledge and skills can often perform tasks more efficiently and adapt to new technology. For instance, an employee who learns new software can finish reports faster and help colleagues do the same. This can benefit both employees and employers. The second reason is career development. Many people need to learn new skills when industries change, but studying outside working hours can be difficult. Companies can support them by offering training time, courses, or financial assistance. Such programs may also help businesses keep experienced workers instead of losing them to other employers. For these reasons, companies should provide stronger support for employees who want to continue learning.
4. Should cities protect more historical buildings instead of replacing them with new ones?
解答例を見る（134語）
I think cities should protect more historical buildings instead of replacing them with new ones. One reason is culture. Old buildings can show how people lived, worked, and designed communities in the past. Once they are destroyed, that part of local history cannot easily be recovered. Students can also visit these buildings to learn about their town’s past. Another reason is tourism. Well-preserved historical areas can attract visitors who spend money at nearby restaurants, shops, and hotels. For example, a restored old warehouse can become a café or a small museum that brings visitors to the area all year round. This can support the local economy. Preservation can also give a city a unique identity that newer buildings may not provide. For these reasons, protecting significant historical buildings can benefit both residents and visitors.

| 学び・成長 | 新しいことが身につく／自分でできるようになる |
| 人とのつながり | 家族・友達・地域の人と関われる |
